This is the CSS WG's response to an issue you raised on the last CSS
2.1 draft (http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-CSS21-20030915). We want to
publish CSS 2.1 as a CR in about two weeks. Please let us know this
week if you think our response is wrong.

> S9.10 Text direction: the 'direction' and 'unicode-bidi' properties
> http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-CSS21-20030915/visuren.html#direction
Left out the rest:
# For block-level elements this creates an override for
# inline-level descendents not within another block.
Why does adding a "display: block" to an element in a paragraph
all of a sudden obviate the need for a directional override?
CSS WG response:
See CSS3 Text or a tutorial for details about why
'direction' and 'unicode-bidi' work this way. No change in CSS 2.1
For the CSS WG,
